November passed and so did the beginning of December. Everyone was caught in the excitement of Christmas break.
People were overheard making plans and swapping stories of what they were going to be doing over break.
James as promised was taking the Marauders and the girls to his house for the Christmas Ball that the Potters held.
Christmas was going to be different for both the Marauders and the girls. For the first time they were getting gifts for people they thought they previously hated. The boys wanted to make it special because they wanted to prove that they could do something nice and kind if they wanted to.
Lily, Addy, and Meg had informed their parents that they were going to the party and none of the parents had objected. Lily's parents had urged her to go to James's house because Petunia was having her boyfriend over and that wouldn't be very good.
The day that they were all supposed to leave, they all met in the common room. Remus and Meg greeted each other with a kiss. Everyone around them looked away.
They still hadn't got used to the fact that their two shyest members were dating each other and it was sort of a shock every time they saw them kiss.
James led the way and to the girls surprise he was taking them to Dumbledore's office.
'James's parents can't pick us up because Mrs. Potter is busy with arrangements for the ball and Mr. Potter is on duty. We have to take a PortKey because there are enchantments that prevent people from Apparating into the wards surrounding the place.' Sean explained.
Ari laughed. 'Oh come on Sean no need to make it sound like a high security prison. But you know with Sirius living there it could turn into that.'
Sirius glared at her.
'The point is that the only reason Potter Manor is guarded so heavily is because the Potter line is on the most prestigious and legendary lines in the wizarding world. Sure people say that it is the Black and Malfoy line but that's not true.'
Addy furrowed her brow. 'How can you be so sure about that? I mean I thought that the only reason the Potter family was famous was because of the money.'
James looked around and quickly pulled them into an empty room that was just by Dumbledore's office.
'Ok Lily, Addy, and Meg what I tell you right now is something that you can't tell anyone else.'
They nodded their heads.
'The main reason that the Potter line is the more prestigious than the Black and Malfoy is because not once in history has anyone from the Potter family gotten married to a magical creature such as a veela or a vampire. That has happened in the Black and Malfoy line. But there is something else. Not many people know this and that's how we would like to keep this. Now can any of you three tell me what you know about the founder's family heirs?' James asked sounding much like a teacher.
Lily answered at once. 'The lines of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw died out a long time ago. There has been proof that recently said that Tom Riddle aka. Voldemort is the heir of Slytherin and the Gryffindor heir was lost.' she stated.
James shook his head. 'Wrong, the Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin thing was right but the Gryffindor was wrong.'
'What do you mean? The Heir of Gryffindor is still alive?' Meg asked sharply.
James nodded. 'Who is it?' she asked.
'You're looking at him.' James said.
The three gaped. 'Ok James I know you were arrogant before but that doesn't mean you can go around pretending to be the heir of Gryffindor.' Lily said in a strict tone.
'Who's pretending? To preserve the line Gryffindor's great grandson changed his last name to the name of his wife. And his wife's name was Eleanor Potter.'
'Oh my god.' the three said at once.
Sirius nodded. 'Yup, that was our reaction too when we found out that our best mate is the heir of Gryffindor.'
Ari laughed. 'Hey! I am related to the Heir of Gryffindor.' she said jokingly. 'Where's my prize?'
James grinned and ruffled her hair. 'That is your prize. You my dear lady are related to the Heir of Gryffindor.' he said in a pompous tone.
Ari scowled.
'Guys we are supposed to be going to Dumbledore's office.' he said.
'What time are we supposed to be there?' Meg asked her boyfriend.
James looked down at his watch. 'Oh about fifteen minutes ago.'
Everyone jumped and they rushed to the stone gargoyle.
'Snickers Bars.'
'What?' Lily said snickering. 'You do realize that that's a Muggle sweet.'
'My dear Lilykins do you really underestimate me that much. That's not just any Muggle sweet. It so happens to be the password.'
'Don't be ridiculous.' she said. But stopped when she saw that gargoyle open up.
James smirked but didn't say anything due to the fact that Lily was giving him a death glare.
They all went up and saw that Dumbledore was sitting in his chair.
'Well, well thank you for finally arriving.' Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.
'See, the thing is professor the ladies here couldn't decide what to pack so they packed everything. And you know as well as I do how much stuff they have. Sheesh.' Sirius said.
The girls glared at him and he winked back.
'No harm done. Now I have arranged for a PortKey to take you to the grounds and you have to get to the house from there. Everyone this is your PortKey' he said holding up a paperweight.
They all grabbed on and that was a feat considering their entire luggage.
'Have a great Christmas.' the Headmaster said.
They all felt a jerk at their navel and soon they were travelling into nothingness.
